ROBERT SMITH Statesman Correspondent WASHINGON-(Special)-In the first solid test of the mood of the present House of Representatives on the touchy public vs. pri vate power question, critics of public power have won a hands-down victory that is being taken as an indicator of what may happen to such Pacific Northwest questions as Hells Caynon and "partnership construction Of dams on the Columbia and Willamette rivers.

Democratic critics of the Dixon-Yates power contract,- which hs alrtaoy been sealed by the administration and the private utility, combine that plans to build the plant, saw this as a last opportunity to block the imple mentation of the contract The Democratically-controlled House Appropriations Committee earl tor hsri mnroved their scheme to deny funds for the transmis sion line hookup with TV A. "National Concern" Republican supporters of the Dixon-Yatesi power deal brought the issue to a head on the House Door last Thursday when debate neared a voting climax on the big public works construction money bill. They moved to re verse the action of the Democrats on the . committee and approve the power plant tiein. The Dixon-Yates contract is a matter of national concern," de clared Rep. Natcher (D-Ky.), jbH nrrs at this Dlan ulti mately means not only the de struction of TV A, but the same situation will apply to Hells Can yon, Trinity River, and the Ni agara Falls redevelopment" Rep. Hallock (R-Ind.), GOP Door leader, roared back a few minutes later that "you people have done very well down there (in TV A country) compared to the taxpayers of the rest of the country, and I might suggest that is might not be too wise to ride a good horse to death. Possibly you are afraid the gravy train is running out" Broad Scope Cited Rep. Jones (D-Ala) had a quick appeal to the "rest of the coun try" "This immediate proposal ioes not confine itself just to TV A. There is a larger question, the question of whether or not the people, through their govern ment, will continue to control the management of the TV A, Bonne- House Raises Government Workers' Pay WASHINGTON 1 The House : voted overwhelmingly Monday to raise the pay of more than one million classified government work ers Vh per cent The Senate has passed a 10 per cent boost. ' The bill now soes to a Senate- House conference committee to compromise the difference. Many House members said they expect the final figures to be 8 per cent. There was no direct indication of how big a pay hike President! Eisenhower would approve, al-j though both figures were higher j than the 5 per cent he recommend- j ed. In Monday's brief debate, Rep. ! St. George (R-NY) said a 7 per cent bill would be signed into law. As voted by the House, the in-' crease would cost an estimated 325 million dollars a year. The vote on the pay raise was 370-3. with three Republicans against it Reps. Taber of New York, Mason of Illinois and Vursell : of Illinois. While there was no floor fight over the' amount of the boost, Rep.; Moss (D-Calif ), who led an unsuc- j cessful fight in committee for an ; 8 per cent hike, said his forces j were counting on a compromise j at that figure. Moss reminded the House that Congress voted itself a 50 per cent raise and gave career military ,j personnel incentive pay raises ranging from 6 to 23 per cent The measure would apply to i 983,057 Civil Service workers and some 90,000 employes of Congress; uumuKutvi -"t - some 90,uwu employes oi vongres-s jrille Power administration, Cen- d tte judicial brancn of g0vern tral Valley project (in Califqr- t n-nartment of Medicine ma).
